repeat themselves, as each season some varieties in every combina- 
tion of plants, seem to be more vigorous than the rest, thus lending the 
emphasis of theix stronger color to the picture. 
Mrs. King does not discourage those of us who have small gardens, 
by telling of unattainable expanses of bloom, but shows us how a tiny 
space may be made delightful, by the use of plants which give proper 
color values, and herein lies one of the books greatest assets. 
The word garden is a never ceasing delight to us all, a delight 
possibly transmitted to us from our grandmother Eve, and Mrs. King 
gives us food for dreams, when our gardens are taking their long 
sleep, and enables us to carry about our daily tasks, a subconscious- 
ness of something pleasant.

'^'The Garden Month by Month, by Mabel Cabot Sedgewick. Pub- 
lished by Frederick A. Stokes. Price, $4.50. 
This book is probably known to most members of the Garden Club 
OP America, but no list of helpful gardening books would be complete 
which did not contain it. It- is an indispensable book- 
The "Months" are from March to September inclusive, and all 
the desirable hardy herbaceous perennials blooming within those 
months are described as to appearance, color, dates of bloom, height, 
and proper cultivation. There are over two hundred half tone en- 
gravings from photographs; also an excellent color chart. 
Now is the time to plan the summer's garden. The books on color 
planting mentioned in the previous reviews cover this field very fully. 
The '' Garden Month by Month" will be found invaluable for refer- 
ence in planning future plantings. G. S. W.
